Hart and Mancini To Hold Talks

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is to have talks with keeper Joe Hart when he returns from his loan at Birmingham at the end of the season.

The 22 year old cannot play at Eastlands at the weekend as City are his parent club, something which Mancini is grateful for, but he does admit that he will have a problem at the end of the season.

It just may be that Hart will be allowed out on loan once again as the City boss would have problems deciding who would be taking the number one jersey at the club between Hart and Shay Given.

Mancini said: 'We have a very good goalkeeper at the club in Shay Given. Shay and Joe Hart are two of the best in the Premier League, and it is important to have two good goalkeepers.

'The Premier League season is long, and if you are playing in the Champions League, as well as the FA Cup and the League Cup, then you need the players - you need two top goalkeepers. It is important that I speak with Joe in the weeks after the Premier League finishes, then we will see about next season. He has worked very well at Birmingham and he has developed.'
